Critical Reviews of Online Content, with occasional Adventures in Fact Checking I'm reviewing the internet, one content creator/influencer/YouTube channel/podcast at a time - to help you know who's worth following, and when to smash that mute button. I'm trying to make this a largely positive project - to platform good people, and encourage civil and constructive debate. I also occasionally do videos for my "TINY LIES" series, which are investigative adventures in fact-checking in this crazy post-truth era we're in. Find more at my YouTube channel, TheInternetReviewed.

Enshittification: AI Apps are just scams and slop

I recently started receiving ads on social media for "educational" history apps. It soon became clear these were almost all just AI-generated junk apps, or outright scams to steal your money.This seems, to me, yet another symptom of the era of enshittification we're in, which is being turbocharged by AI.There seems to be a flood of these AI apps now, so I thought I should warn you about them. Please, if you know of any educational or history apps that are actually good, useful, and not scams, let us know in the comments!
